First and foremost, this is a village country pub so hooves, paws or muddy feet are all welcome. So whether you're after lunch, an evening meal, Sunday roast or just a drink after enjoying the picturesque surroundings, there's always a warm welcome at The White Thorn. Submitted by publican.

In the middle of Plymouth City Centre. Dog friendly sign on their website so no surprise that they make you welcome.

Smart, large, nautical themed pub right in the middle of the Barbican in Plymouth. A "Canine Friendly" (as they sign themselves). Bowl and water no problem. Food looks good -moules marinere, belly of pork etc on the menu. Seating outside overlooking the quay.

Very dog friendly throughout and they welcome any well behaved dog everywhere except a tiny restaurant section. Cracking food and space to eat both inside and out. Regular 10 minute ferry from Admiral's Hard Plymouth.

Dogs Always Welcome

By the beach which is dog friendly all year round. With a nature reserve to the other side so perfect for our fur babies. There is a well-stocked dog treat jar on the bar and every dog that visits is offered one and sometime two.

Muddy paws and boots welcome! A Dartmoor refuge for outdoors types from walkers to riders, fishermen and canoeists. Emphasis on local Devon beers and ciders, log fires and home cooked food (including excellent game dishes). Sadly resident pooches Kipper and Ben are no longer around but the new dog is Spider. Dogs welcome throughout excluding dining room in the evenings.

We arrived in the middle of a rainstorm. I was as muddy as my dog after hiking along the SW Coast Path for the afternoon. No problem, they told me. They provided a bowl and water and the waitress made a total fuss over my muddy puppy (well, Vinka IS the most beautiful dog in Devon).
The Mussel Inn is quite out of the way, so probably not often much busier than I saw it at midday.

Good food, special deal including desserts which were delicious. Dogs allowed in beer garden and bar but not the restaurant. We had the whole bar to ourselves when we visited. Our dog got served a bowl of water which he enojoyed very much. My daughter recommends the fish and chips with tartare sauce and mushy peas. Service was very friendly and we had a lovely leisurely lunch then walked back to Jennycliffe.
